More Than Just a Memory

It was your silence that shook my world
You made me wonder with thoughts running wild in you
Your glances made me think
Of the man you were once and shall be

The pain of your told and untold stories, 
Lingered through my veins
Buried deeply in your memories
Are pictures of your tears

Yet you stood still through those years
You found joy through your own core
But your eyes paint wonder at times
Of how life would be if time's in your hand

And hidden in your past, is a history of us
Knowing you would shed another tear, 
You left with a kiss and marked your arc
Of what seemed to be more than just a memory
